[This version replaces the original parish bulletin version. This version replaces the word "nearly" with "nearby."]

Thank you for you prayers and concern. Further tests and consultations with doctors have revealed that I have an aggressive tumor of the prostate and that the cancer has spread to the pelvic bones and nearly nearby lymph nodes. I have started on hormone treatment and will be continuing on it. I am under the care of doctors at USC Norris Center, who are optimistic that the treatment will stop the growth and kill most of the cancer cells.

Please continue with your prayers, and with God’s help I will be able to enjoy many years of retirement and continued priestly ministry.
